Motoko doesn’t support :: in method names:

Identifiers are alpha-numeric, start with a letter and may contain underscores:

<id>   ::= Letter (Letter | Digit | _)*
Letter ::= A..Z | a..z
Digit  ::= 0..9

If we want to go with a prefix/suffix mechanism and be compatible with Motoko, then using an underscore is pretty much the only choice.

You must have been born after the 80s. As a contemporary, I bet you’d still find most C++ syntax hacks from the time atrocious. :wink:
